Does anyone have a general idea about when the 9000 series Blackberry will be released? I am contemplating getting the 8830 (I have an 8800) but do not want to do that, and then right when I get it, RIM decides to unveil the 9000 series.

If you have a general estimation on what part of the year it may be released, feel free to step up. Thanks

The 9000 is still a long ways off. Keep your 8800, no sense is switching to anything else right now (unless you want WiFi).

I was told by an ATT tech that the 9000 should be released VERY soon after WES. I asked him how sure he was, he said VERY SURE. Your guess is as good as mine, but I am hoping. Also said it would not be touch, but would have wifi and 3g.

Speaking to a rep in Toronto. RIM has not announced anything but the "new" model is still being tested. After the announcement from Apple on competing with RIM they have made some tweaks on the new model to DIFFERENTIATE themselves from Apple. He mentioned to me to look at Late May or June 2008 as possible announcements.
